PNW EXPEDITION MEET THREAD

Come one, come all buy a PNW Expedition sticker and put it on your wall, put it on your car he'll use it to cover up a battle scar!

5 stickers left @ 7 dollars each. Only color left is white.

Buy one now. I honestly don't know when we will do another batch. The team has other projects we are all wanting to start. I know shirts are next up. So get one of these while you can.

 

I remember doing mine myself, and I don't remember them being hard at all... in reality, I don't remember having done them, so they couldn't have been hard. The part I do remember, is that bleeding the stupid truck was impossible and I had to have it done by a shop.

As @innesshell said, have the right wrenches, you need flare nut wrenches. Typical box style is bad, they strip the bolt thingy part. If you end up at Gearhead and they don't have them, I have a set that I bought specifically for this.

Another tip, the little metal clips that hold part of the line in the brackets won't be very good to keep and rely on. I wish I had known, and I probably should still change them for better, such as a big inner diameter fender washer or something. I hope the description makes sense.

 

Another work day today, but tomorrow I am finally getting weekend time! Snowshoeing with family.

 

Speaking of SnowShoeing... Anybody seen at their local Costco SnowShoes within the last week or so??? Saw them once a few weeks back but haven't seen them again at the Clackamas one...

 

There were a few sets left at the Vancouver store yesterday. Not sure how quick they'll disappear.

 

Thank you! Will check em out tomorrow. Much appreciated!

 

Just seen this thread glad to know there are other tacoma lovers in the PNW any of you more toward Southern Oregon. Im in Klamath Falls. would love to do some local wheeling. I would like to attend a weekend of wheeling when you announce something.

 

@RogueTRD is down your way somewhere

 

Yep! Medford here. Actually we are doing a little trip the weekend of Feb 10-12 and will be going through K Falls!

 

Subd to that thread! But really you are just talking about azbs

 

I don't think I will be able to do that trip. I work at the fairgrounds here and we have a very busy couple months ahead. Keep me posted though!

 

I'm interested in the "PNW Expedition" part of this thread.
However, I'm not seeing a whole lot of "expedition" kind of stuff going on.
Is it winter prep now and expedite in the spring?
I gotta get out of the house soon, this winter has been ridiculous I'm going stir crazy!!!!

 

I think for the most part the group just started. There was an expedition to Bagby hot springs 2 weekends ago I believe. Last weekend there was a mod day. Next weekend was supposed to be Ape Caves but that has been canceled and a meet up at Buffalo Wild Wings has taken its place.

 

Food - Beer = Good!!

 

Nailed it on the dot. Group is mainly active on Facebook. Have a few. Embers who enjoy exploring in smaller groups and they will often times post something on there asking anyone if they'd like to join.

After the BWW meet up we are trying to figure out what the next big group run will be. With those logistically it's hard to do any true exploring with branching off and trying to find new trails. Just with the amount of people and communications recovery gear and people just learning how to wheel.

If you are looking to do more of that we encourage you to set something up and ask other members for advice or if they'd like to join.

The admins for the Facebook group we enjoy setting meets and big events and Mod days up. It's great for everyone to show up. But sometimes we like to just go out in our small group to explore on our own and if we find something cool then the plan is to find a way to host a big run and bring people up there.

 

And yes we are a little tired of the snow. Once spring rolls around a lot of the forest roads will open back up giving us a chance to do some actual exploring versus driving in the snow and getting stuck

 

I don't do FB for politcal, religious, and personal reasons, so I'm at the mercy of this forum I suppose?

Anyone here actually camp in the cold weather months? Ground tent, hammock, RTT, etc?

I'm itching to get my camping gear out and get a few nights in before I start my kayak fishing season. Which is more camping.

Hot fire, grilled meat, beer, bad stories, you know?

 

Why are they so hard to swap? I swapped mine without a hitch!

 

hahaha, 25 for lift rental is pretty damn good though. We can have a mod day there right?

 

@808inDa503 has been setting up Mod days for the past few months there. We just did one last week
